Rear Axle Question - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

swampthang · 10-28-2008, 05:36 PM

I was scrapyard hunting today and saw a Chebby rear axle that I have never seen before. It was under what was left of a P-30 motorhome chassis and had several cars stacked on it so I couldn't get a look at the center section. One axle shaft was pulled and in addition to the normal stud and cone wedge axle to hub arrangement, the hub also had coarse internal splines that matched up with splines on the axle flange. the axle splines were on a step that fitted into the hub. It also had 10 lug dual rear wheels. Anyone recognize it? No pics as my dumb ass left my phone at home.

I have a '75 Chevy based motorhome with a 10 lug rearend and the center section looks just like a Dana 80.

Sounds interesting.

Dana 80's were set up that way on the late 90's C3500HD's.
